In case of "Target Audience" current Sweets have only one high level entrance for non-doers for now:
* relatively simple (e.g., regarding jhbuild) run any (within reasonable limits) Sugar Shell version,
* including the one that is in development, i.e., help developers to test it,
* besides, run Sugar Shell versions that are modified by doers, e.g., Dextrose,
* on any (see TODO) major GNU/Linux distribution.
In this case, TODO:
* what major distros we have,
* test current Sweets there,
* add new entrance for non-doers, the way to run activities via Sweets (big task that require special treatment).
